lazy galoots who have a wagon and

dozen big fat hens being too laborious

to leave enough behind for the irate
farmers wife to begin the raising of
another brood.

at Die scan ports ostensibly for New
York, but really to carry provisions, arms
and ammunition to Cuba and attempt to
avoid the blockade and effect a landing.
This matter has been communicated by
the Cuban representative at Mexico to
the Cuban junta in Washington for the
purpose of informing the American Gov-ernment
of the scheme. The measure has
already passed the Chamber of Deputies
and as effort will be made by the Cuban
sympathizers in Mexico to secure its de-feat
in the Senate. The purpose of the
act, it is stated, was not known to many
of the deputies, and it is believed that had
it been the bill would not have passed
that house. The Villa- Verdes is the vessel
which was fitted out several months ago
on a filibustering expedition with supplies
obtained in Mexico for the relief of the
Cubans, but was captured by the Gov-ernment
before it had left port and com-pelled
to unload its cargo.
Weary Willies Must Wat.
Led on by the success of the 200 men
who recently took possession of the Santa
Fe freight train east of Newton, Kan.,
and directed its course to Central West-ern
Kansas in search of work in the har-vest
fields, sixty men attempted the same
* method of procedure at Newton and fail-ed.
There were points of difference in the
two expeditions which caused their re-sults.
The first expedition was really
looking for work and had numbers to back
It. The second was composed wholly of
tramps, and, instead of looking for work,
was really trying to get beyond the har-vest
fields, and in danger of being pressed
into service. The men made a rush for a
freight train as it left the yards. The
trainmen and yardman resisted and city
officials aided them. The tramps were
thriven out of town. Twenty of the men
who went through on the captured train
the other day have returned and joined a
railroad contractor's gang until harvest
is well on. Most of the others are waiting
for harvest in various parts of Central
and Western Kansas.
Shot by a Pretly Or'.
Burglars broke into the grounds of Mrs.
Margaret Long in Murray Hill avenue,
Pittsburg. They were about to enter the
house by way of a balcony, when Miss
Elizabeth Long awakened. Procuring a
revolver she Crept to a window. In a
tree near the porch she saw- several dark
objects. When they came within range she
fired. At the first shot there was a yell
of pain and a man dropped to the ground.
Another man jumped from the tree and
assisted his- apparently wounded compan-ion
to escape.

not likely that any miner will trust his
gold on a vessel unless she is escorted by
a government steamer. There is a very

Pirates have banded together to attack a

for the Glenwood Sunset grpup of mining

at Die scan ports ostensibly for New
York, but really to carry provisions, arms
and ammunition to Cuba and attempt to
avoid the blockade and effect a landing.
This matter has been communicated by
the Cuban representative at Mexico to
the Cuban junta in Washington for the
purpose of informing the American Gov-ernment
of the scheme. The measure has
already passed the Chamber of Deputies
and as effort will be made by the Cuban
sympathizers in Mexico to secure its de-feat
in the Senate. The purpose of the
act, it is stated, was not known to many
of the deputies, and it is believed that had
it been the bill would not have passed
that house. The Villa- Verdes is the vessel
which was fitted out several months ago
on a filibustering expedition with supplies
obtained in Mexico for the relief of the
Cubans, but was captured by the Gov-ernment
before it had left port and com-pelled
to unload its cargo.
Weary Willies Must Wat.
Led on by the success of the 200 men
who recently took possession of the Santa
Fe freight train east of Newton, Kan.,
and directed its course to Central West-ern
Kansas in search of work in the har-vest
fields, sixty men attempted the same
* method of procedure at Newton and fail-ed.
There were points of difference in the
two expeditions which caused their re-sults.
The first expedition was really
looking for work and had numbers to back
It. The second was composed wholly of
tramps, and, instead of looking for work,
was really trying to get beyond the har-vest
fields, and in danger of being pressed
into service. The men made a rush for a
freight train as it left the yards. The
trainmen and yardman resisted and city
officials aided them. The tramps were
thriven out of town. Twenty of the men
who went through on the captured train
the other day have returned and joined a
railroad contractor's gang until harvest
is well on. Most of the others are waiting
for harvest in various parts of Central
and Western Kansas.
Shot by a Pretly Or'.
Burglars broke into the grounds of Mrs.
Margaret Long in Murray Hill avenue,
Pittsburg. They were about to enter the
house by way of a balcony, when Miss
Elizabeth Long awakened. Procuring a
revolver she Crept to a window. In a
tree near the porch she saw- several dark
objects. When they came within range she
fired. At the first shot there was a yell
of pain and a man dropped to the ground.
Another man jumped from the tree and
assisted his- apparently wounded compan-ion
to escape.

The first boat from Dawson, is expected

not likely that any miner will trust his

Pirates have banded together to attack a
